My unit came within 1/2" of height of fitting. Had to remove the floor and added side rails 1/2' lower to support the new refer. DW did not want to loose the drawer below. I added right angle metal brackets to the top corners of the drawer opening to help support the load. The weight is carried by the side rails and the front cross member which I cut down 1/2". The foil backed insulation is to keep stuff from falling into the drawer.
I added 500 AH of batteries and a 1000W PSW inverter which will run it for 36+ hours before needing to recharge. Could have gotten by with 250AH as my house batteries need charging every 12-18 hours under normal use when boondocking. When running a EnergyStar refer is so effecient it only uses 8 amps DC... 96W AC... less than a 100W bulb. I wish I'd figured this out several years ago before spending too much money on my NoCold 1200 and we boondock often.
